The Department of History and Philosophy of Science at Indiana
University with support from the National Science Foundation is seeking
an editorial assistant at the postdoctoral level to work on the digital
Chymistry of Isaac Newton project (www.chymistry.org

organizationally in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science

capacity, the editorial assistant will edit and encode manuscripts,
working closely with project collaborators across campus, including the
Department of History and Philosophy of Science, School of Informatics
and Computing, Indiana University Libraries, and University Information
Technology Services. Through work on the Newton project the editorial
assistant will have direct access to experts across a wide range of
faculty, librarians and technologists, including experts in metadata
analysis, text encoding, imaging specialists, large‐scale data mining,
data curation and preservation systems, system and tool developers, and
more. The editorial assistant will participate fully in the vast
professional development offerings at Indiana University, including
activities in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science (e. g.
optional teaching), campus programs such as the Institute for Digital
Arts and Humanities (IDAH), and more. The postdoctoral fellow will have
at least one weekday to work on their own research; office space will be
provided.
